We reported to you that a certain drug called Nanosilver arrived Nigeria to treat Ebola, but the U.S govt. announced that the drug is a pesticide and not healthy for human consumption and would infact not treat the Ebola virus. The minister also revealed that Nanosilver failed to pass the ethical test carried out and will not be used in treatment of the patients.
